Hi

what is the reason for describing media transport in a separate
specification and not keeping it in the peer protocol spec where it is
now (Section 6. Transport Protocols and Encapsulation)?

I'm afraid the PPSP specification will be fragmented over too many
documents: 3 specs for the P2P part (peer proto spec, media transport
spec and usage guide). Not nice for reading, not nice for authoring.
